UH Drops Mens' Tennis
The UH men's tennis program was eliminated after the
1987 season.
Rudy Davalos said financial
considerations led to the move,
which came after discussions
with the Athletic Advisory
Committee and the Intercollegiate Athletic Council.
"In the face of the current
financial atmosphere, this decision will afford the opportunity
to avoid diluting remaining
programs and allow us to remain dedicated and competitive," Davalos said in a prepared
statement.
The move came two days
after UH captured third place in
the Cougar Classic, including
victories over Southern Mississippi and Houston Baptist.
"It's kind of like we have a
good win and this is what it
gets us." said team Captain Earl
Zinn. UH did, however, have a
6-20-1 season record and
placed last in the SWC.
UH has fielded a tennis team
since 1947 and has an all-time
record of 425-299-22. The
team's most famous player is
pro Nduka Odizor, who won
SWC titles in singles (1978) and
doubles (1981).
